About: Animals are our family members. There’s a good reason they say dog is mans best friend. Dogs are special. I have owned several dogs over the past 30 years I have dog sat for several friends and family members. I know your fur babies are precious which is why I treat them like they are my own. I have always only had good experiences with dogs. I am a sahm, so breaks to play or walk with a dog are welcome! We love being outdoors. Supervised Play keeps everyone safe and happy:) I homeschool one of my two kids so we have a pretty flexible schedule. We have a goldendoodle pup named Gracie she loves walks and chasing tennis balls and she would love some doggie friend play dates! We take several walks daily, trips to the park for a fun run or play in the yard with tennis balls and bubbles. Dogs will always be on leash to keep them close and supervised unless they are enclosed in a safe area.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Whenever I needed them, they were there for me and I returned the favor whenever I could with long walks and extra cuddles. Neighbors and friends have always known my love for animals and whenever they needed someone reliable to take care of them, they would call me. Police Officer currently work full-time on 12 hour shifts which means I have 2 to 5 days off during the week, so I can take care of your pets all day if needed. I rotate shifts every other week, so I'm available for frequencies such as every other Tuesday for any day of the week. I am open to caring for your pet in the way they need. Pets have personalities just like humans and I understand every one is different!

“Christina and her mom were great with our dog, Kiwi. Kiwi is a rescue that we have had for a couple of years. She loves my daughter and I dearly, and she is hesitant with other people.

About: What sets me apart is hands-on experience with big, high, energy breeds and young pets. I grew up around Labs, German Shepherds, and Akitas, so I'm comfortable handling large or strong dogs confidently and safely. Whether it's a rowdy young pup or a full house of large breeds, I know how to keep things calm, safe, and fun. Since I work from home, my schedule is pretty flexible day to day, and even more so on weekends. That means I can genuinely be there for your pet, not just check in quickly. When things get busy or chaotic in your world, I'm glad to take pet care off your plate. My approach adapts to whichever service I'm providing, but the goal is always the same: keep your pet's routine as normal as possible.

About: I have always had dogs since I was a baby. I currently have 2 of my own, a 9 year old beagle and a 3 year old doberman who I rescued. I trained my beagle by myself and am doing the same with my doberman. I have worked among amazing dog trainers, pet care workers, and I am shift lead at a boarding facility. I take care of all types and personalities of dogs and cats, from timid and aggressive to in your pocket and loving. I am very comfortable with both. In my free time I am learning grooming, animal health, and animal behavior. I also spend a lot of time outside with my dogs or horses. I currently work at a dog hygienist facility 8-3. Off Wednesday and Sundays, this is when I do all my grooming for my dogs as well as any dogs in my care. During my break at work I may be able to stop by (distance permitting) and also let your pet out. Boarding- I have a fenced in yard where potty breaks are whenever needed when I am home. When not home dogs will be kenneled (if you want) and/or put up in my dog room where camera access is available. When working I am able to let them out during my work break around 12pm. I feed my 2 dogs twice a day (AM & PM) House sitting- Your home my environment flexes towards your pet and what it is comfortable with! I do normally work 8-3 M, T, TH, F, and Saturdays but depending on distance I might be able to let your pets out or care for them during my lunch break on those days.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
Emma is very sweet and responsive! My 10-month old golden retriever loves her! Her services were a huge help, as she was able to get my sweet Margie to day care after I had to be at work. Emma is very trustworthy and I never worried about my pup getting to day care safely. I highly recommend Emma! She is a fantastic communicator and flexible.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my boys while I was out of town. She kept me updated throughout my trip and sent lots of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my dogs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
It is so so clear that Beth loves our fuzzy babies—and they love her right back!!! She is a wonderful communicator and gentle as can be, playing with our two VERY high-energy spaniels. When we come home after they’ve been with her, they’re relaxed and totally unstressed. Thank you!!!
Lori was amazing! We are visiting from Indiana for a month and we needed a sitter for our blind dog. Lori came to meet us and was so sweet. If our dog could talk, I’m sure he would say how much he enjoyed Lori sitting with him. Thank you, Lori! You are the sweetest!
Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave me total peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ellisville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,554 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ellisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ellisville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
